Record at 120 FPS at the least. If you want to use the full HUD, that's fine. No problem with that. I probably wouldn't bother with clips that have major lag in them, regardless of what the clip consists of.

Usually when people only use music for sound, it's to put emphasis on that specific part. At least from my experience anyway. No problem with in-game sound as I'm sure you're aware, but if anything you could have the in-game sound quieter.

Random text popping up such as "he's b4nny" is pointless. I'm gonna be completely honest here. Even if adding in text like that was a thing, it wouldn't make sense to have said that considering it was 100% an ordinary frag. However, since adding in text in that way isn't a thing, I found it pretty uncomfortable having known that happened.

I understand you're trying to get into editing and are clearly new to it, but you really gotta start watching other videos for inspiration. If you're making videos for others rather than just to make them, then you need to find out what people generally like and dislike about videos and work according to that. If it's for your audience, then it's about what your audience wants. This doesn't mean to not consider what you want, not at all. And you'll soon realize that you can't please everybody. Don't try to please everybody, try to please the majority. What I mean is if you see a ton of people saying to do something one way more so than there are people saying to do it the opposite, then do it the way the majority of people want it.

I don't make the best videos, but ever since I started receiving feedback from the community, I've tried to use every single piece of advice given to me and it's gotten me far. Really far. Don't underestimate what feedback can do for you.
